The composite observed allele frequency in controls, including the large and diverse ExAC cohort, is 29/121594 (1/4193); and the observed allele frequency in the Latino sub-population from ExAC population is 11/11570 (1/1052). These frequencies are not significantly different than the maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (1/1000). However, the low frequency in control populations should still suggest that this variant is a rare polymorphism unless proven other. The variant has been cited to co-occur with various pathogenic BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants, including BRCA1 c.6944_6947delTAAA (p.Ile2315_Lys2316?fs), BRCA1 c.2722G>T (p.Glu908Ter), and BRCA2 c.8537_8538delAG (p.Glu2846Glyfs) from BIC and BRCA2 c.1310_1313delAAGA (p.Lys437IlefsX22) from UMD. These co-occurrence findings are a clear evidence that this variant is benign. Although the variant has been reported in multiple patients in the literature, the publications did not comprehensively rule out the presence of large rearrangements. LOH studies demonstrated the retention of wild type allele and the loss of the allele harboring this variant in tumors from 2 patients, further supporting a benign outcome (Osorio et al, 2002). In addition, a cell growth assay to measure this variant's ability to functionally complement BRCA1-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells showed the variant behaves like wildtype (Bouwman et al, 2013). Although clinical laboratories and databases are mixed in their classifications, the majority classify the variant as benign/likely benign/neutral. Taken together, this variant has been classified as benign.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	RCV001353574	SCV000591464	benign	Malignant tumor of breast		no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	The BRCA1 p.Asn1236Lys variant has been previously reported in the literature in 11 of 5896 proband chromosomes with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and was identified in 3 of 1510 control chromosomes included in these studies (Borg 2010, Diez 2003, Lara 2012, Osorio 2007, Simard 2007, Spurdle 2008, Weber 2006). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs28897687), the GeneInsight COGR database (classified as with unknown significance by four clinical labs, and as likely benign by one clinical lab), ARUP Laboratories BRCA database (classified with uncertain significance), BIC database (35x with uncertain significance), LOVD, the ClinVar database (classified as having “uncertain significance” by three submitters; as “likely benign” by one submitter; and as “benign” by three submitters). The variant was also in 39 samples submitted to UMD, where it was classified as “neutral”. One of these samples had a co-occurring pathogenic BRCA2 variant (c.1310_1313delAAGA, p.Lys437IlefsX22), increasing the likelihood that the p.Asn1236Lys variant may not have clinical significance. In addition, the variant was identified at polymorphic frequencies in three HapMap populations: Han Chinese in Beijing (freq: 0.026), Japanese in Tokyo (freq: 0.012), and Toscans in Italy (freq: 0.011). The variant is not conserved in all mammals, and the variant amino acid Lys is present in purple sea urchin, increasing the likelihood that this amino acid position may not be functionally important. Computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein. A study using a multifactorial-likelihood ratio model (co-occurrence, pathology and conservation) yielded inconclusive results for the classification of this variant (Spurdle 2008). One functional study found that the variant did not affect BRCA1 interstrand crosslink repair (Bouwman 2013), and another study using a minigene assay found that the variant did not affect normal splicing of the BRCA1 gene (Anczuków 2008 in Walker 2013). In addition, loss of heterozygosity analysis of tumours in two patients showed retention of the wild-type allele and loss of the allele in which the variant was located, confirming that the variant was not deleterious (Osorio 2002). In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign.
